How Long to Wait Before Neck Lift Revision?

I am sorry to read of your concern. It may be too soon to determine if a revision is necessary. Though recovery from a surgical #necklift varies from person to person, patients are generally presentable within three weeks from surgery. Generally, it will take approximately 7-10 days for the early healing in which many patients feel comfortable being in public at this stage. Most #bruising is low on the neck and may easily be covered by clothing. Also, wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks.
The #incision scars from a necklift can typically be hidden well and are not located within eye level to be immediately noticed. These #scars “mature” within six to twelve months from the surgery date. The term mature implies they will soften and fade away. During this time, the rejuvenating effects of the necklift will become most obvious and the neck feels the most normal (ex. little discomfort, soft, normal sensation, no more post-op firmness). Following this stage, the true restorative effects of your necklift result will be apparent. 
If during your healing, you have any concerns, it is suggested to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.

Thank you for your question.   I will waist at least 6 months before considering any revision. If you are only  3 weeks after surgery your neck is going to change considerable in the next 3 months at least.  Be in contact with your surgeon.

It’s not unusual to have swelling, lumps and bumps this early on after surgery. I would continue to observe and let your surgeon know your concerns. With your surgeon’s permission, you can gently massage under the chin to help soften the lumps, but they generally resolve on their own. Make sure that you let your surgeon that you are concerned about this, so that he/she may advise you accordingly. Good luck!

Generally speaking, revisions to plastic surgery procedures should take place 12 months from the date of the initial procedure.  While this may differ from patient to patient, 12 months allows for lumps and bumps to improve significantly.  It is important that you maintain regular communication with your surgeon's office and remain compliant with post op appointments and instructions.

It's not uncommon to have focal areas of swelling, thickening, or muscle spasm 3 weeks after surgery.  They are all issues that will improve with just patience.  I would also encourage you to wait 6 months before any revision surgery.  Nothing to add in the meantime except massage.
